The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance is excited to sponsor a 3-day conference addressing the primary prevention of sexual and intimate partner violence (SV/IPV). This conference will showcase innovative primary prevention projects from across North America, as well as highlight Virginia-based prevention initiatives. Our national speakers will showcase programs and concepts consistent with promising practices in the primary prevention of SV/IPV. In practice, the primary prevention of SV/IPV means promoting the factors associated with healthy relationships and healthy sexuality, and counteracting the factors associated with first-time perpetration.

The Charlottesville Women's Choir sings primarily a cappella music from a variety of cultural traditions; our themes include women's issues, peace, justice, and spirituality. CWC started in 1984 with just 11 members; 25 years later, CWC has grown to 30 members and continues its tradition of singing at various vigils, services, and an annual spring benefit concert.
